Note: You start with the free
account but have the option to upgrade with a "donation" of $12.00 once
you are registered. My suggestion to you is to upgrade and get rid of the
advertising that comes with the free account. Plus, you will get some nice
extra features that prove useful when offering comments to your blog
entries.

Note: You can use your blog Home
page as I did in this sample below:

Step 2. Now, log into your
account.

Step 3. As soon as you log in, you
are taken to the page to pick up your code. Deselect the radio button by
Blogger and select the button that says, "None of the Above / Manual."

Also, deselect the box saying,
"Display trackback code."

Click the NEXT button.

Step 4. Copy the code in
Step 1 to a Notepad document and save.

Step 5. You will not use the rest
of the information on the page. Instead, you need to use a modified version of
the code that you will copy and paste in the steps below.

Step 6. Open the Easy Blogs
software and on the side menu, click on "Template Editor."

Note: If you are already in the
software, click on "All my Blogs," on the side menu to get to this screen.

Step 7. Click on "Open"

Step 8. A window opens in the
Easy Blogs Folder where the templates are stored. Find the template that
you have previously chosen and downloaded for your News Blog
inTUTORIAL I : Downloading Your SBI Customized
Template. Double click on the template starting with "sbi."

Step 9. The first screen that you see is
open to the Default Layout.

Notice that the Default Layout is
indicated in the box to the right, which says, "Default Template"
(circled in red below).

NOTE: PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION here because in Step 12 below, you will need to know
where you are inside the template structure when you are modifying your
templates.

Step 10. Notice that the tab labeled,
"Start of Page" is raised. This indicates that you are in a particular
section of the template.

In the "Start of Page" section of the
template, find the marker to paste Code 1 that you copied and saved to Notepad
in Step 4 above into the template between the markers:

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 1 - start -->

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 1 - end -->

Note: Code 1 looks like this except the red
code which is your own id:

Note: You may copy the code here butbe sure to replace "yourid" with our own id.

Click Save
in the top menu bar to save
your insertions.

Step 11. Click on the tab, "Each
Entry," and insert the modified version of Code 2 (found below)
inside the markers that say, as follows:

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 2 - start -->

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 2 - end -->

Copy and Paste this code in between the markers
for CODE 2: (do not alter this code in any way)
<a href="javascript:HaloScan('[entry.date.words%]');"
target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('[entry.date.words%]');</script></a>

Click Save
in the top menu bar to save
your insertions.

Step 12. Click on Home Page tab on the
left.

Note: PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION HERE. Remember in Step 9 above, the software opened
into the Default Layout (circled in blue above) and was indicated by the
"Default Template" in the box circled in red in the screenshot in Step 9.

Now, you are in the Home Page section of the
template.

You know you are in the Home Page section of
the template when you see the words, "Index Template" in the right
hand box (circled in red below.) You also know when you see the Meta tags
for Description and Keywords (circled in green).

Step 13. Repeat Step 10
as follows:

In the "Start of Page" section of the Home
Page find the marker to paste Code 1 that you copied and saved to Notepad
in Step 4 above into the template between the markers:

Note: You may copy the code here butbe sure to replace "yourid" with our id.

Step 14. Repeat Step 11as
follows:

Click on the tab, "Each
Entry," and insert the modified version of Code 2 (found below)
inside the markers that say, as follows:

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 2 - start -->

<!--INSERT HALOSCAN CODE 2 - end -->

Copy and Paste this code in between the markers
for CODE 2: (do not alter this code in any way)
<a href="javascript:HaloScan('[entry.date.words%]');"
target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('[entry.date.words%]');</script></a>

Click to save
in the top menu bar to after each
insertion of the code.

Step 15. Preview your changes, by clicking on the
Preview button. If you like what you see make sure you click the "Save"
button before you exit the template editor.

A
new window will open in your browser with a list of the various pages of
the News Blog.

Note: When you
preview your template, be sure to preview the Home Page with ENTRIES" and
the click the back button on your browser to view the "Archive Page with ENTRIES" to check that you have inserted the
new codes correctly. You should see a hyperlinked "Comment 0" after
each entry (if you added this feature).

Step 16. You can place a test
entry in the browser even before you put the revisions on your SBI site.
(Don't worry. You can always delete your test entries by logging into your
account.)

Step 17. Re-Publish and Generate
your News Blog pages and re-upload the Home Page and all
other pages for this month to your SBI site.

Step 18. Open your SiteBuildIt
website in a browser and check to see that the comment link is there after
each entry.

Step 19. Enter a test entry
or two. You'll see how this all works and be delighted that people can now
leave comments to your entries and others can read them!
